Show Enquiry

View the details of a specific enquiry


Notes

Marketplace partners can view enquiries they have generated on any channel that have granted them permission level 2 or above when connecting. Enquiries will not be listed from Channels who have only granted level 1 permission. You can check permissions on your channels via the Your connections section of your control panel or by calling the Show Channel API call.
